Isaiah 45:19-21
Expanded Bible
19 I did not speak in secret
or hide my words in some dark place.
I did not tell the ·family [descendants; offspring; seed] of Jacob
to ·look for me in empty places [or seek me in vain].
I am the Lord, and I speak the truth;
I say what is right.
20 “You ·people who have escaped [fugitives; refugees] from other nations,
gather together and come before me;
come near together.
People who carry idols of wood ·don’t know what they are doing [know nothing; or are fools].
They pray to a god who cannot save them.
21 ·Tell these people to come to me [or Declare and bring your case].
Let them ·talk about these things [take counsel] together.
Who told you long ago that this would happen?
Who told about it long ago?
I, the Lord, said these things.
There is no other God besides me.
I am the only good God. I am the Savior.
There is no other God.

Isaiah 45:19-21
New International Version
19 I have not spoken in secret,(A)
from somewhere in a land of darkness;(B)
I have not said to Jacob’s descendants,(C)
‘Seek(D) me in vain.’
I, the Lord, speak the truth;
I declare what is right.(E)
20 “Gather together(F) and come;
assemble, you fugitives from the nations.
Ignorant(G) are those who carry(H) about idols of wood,
who pray to gods that cannot save.(I)
21 Declare what is to be, present it—
let them take counsel together.
Who foretold(J) this long ago,
who declared it from the distant past?(K)
Was it not I, the Lord?
And there is no God apart from me,(L)
a righteous God(M) and a Savior;(N)
there is none but me.
